How to create a circle packing graphic?

@ebermudez -

You could create a few circle packing “building blocks” by just using Miro’s default circle shapes and the grouping and duplicate functions. You could then create a simple template showing a couple of examples of use of these. 

Miro doesn’t have any native circle packing shape, so you’d need to create the circles manually.

@ebermudez :

Beside this what Kiron mentioned: My guess is that the clusterizer could help you.

But  an other solution could bring you the direct contact with the developer of the clusterizer @Max Harper 

Do not hesitate to contact him. I could imagine that he is able to bring this to life.

Hello, 

thanks all of you for your answers. 

@Max Harper, to answer your question, I’d like to offer an example:

I want to create just a set of Holacracy circles to propose a new way of working for a small group of teams. But the point is that this circle will be expanded with time. That’s why I don’t want to make it static but more dynamic when changes are needed. 
 
The data is not taken from an external file or table, and I only have teams organized in circles, as shown in the link example above. I want to add the data manually, as you’d do in a simple Powerpoint presentation with SmartArt Graphics, if anywhere possible, of course. Using data from Excel, or similar, would be interesting, but for other usages for sure, not mine. 
 
I didn’t know Clusterizer. I’m having a look at it right now. 

Thanks again for your time. 

Regards.

• How does what you envision differ than this app—https://www.maptio.com/ — other than it would be integrated in Miro
• Is what you’re after a little less involved as what this maptio app is offering?
• how does the Interface and experience differ from what you see there? 

@Max Harper, thanks for the example. 

I think that maptio would be an excellent way to see the kind of features I need as follows: 

• You can easily add and edit circles. 
• You can easily add and edit sub-circles. And they are arranged by default. 
• You can add a title or short text to describe every circle.
• The structure of the circles is grouped by default.
• You can add information that is related to a specific circle. 

I also think that maptio is a bit too much because it contains many features that I consider nice to have, but not necessary for me right now. 

• Tags, roles, templates, a directory, network view, etc. 
• Focus on one sub-circle.
• Blur on unfocused circles. 

About your question regarding the interface, I think a simplified version of maptio would do the work. Nothing shiny. 

👋 Tom here, founder of Maptio. I’m very late to the party 😂 - sorry I only just stumbled upon this thread but thought I’d post just in case it’s useful now @ebermudez or in the future for someone else.

Thank you @Max Harper for mentioning Maptio. It would be cool to see people using it with Miro.

Maptio allows you to create a simpler, public view of a nested circle map. Like this, for example: https://app.maptio.com/share/58d68382d637810011013f6b

These public maps can be embedded in an iframe so you can embed it in Miro. Maptio supplies the code snippet to do this. Instructions here: https://github.com/Maptio/maptio/wiki/Share-a-map-on-a-public-URL-or-embed-in-another-website

Finally, as well as being a subscription-based service, Maptio is open source, so you’re free to hack it to your heart’s content, or feel free to make any suggestions for improvements in our Github.

Please do get in touch if you’d like to explore this with me. Thank you!
